I am a new user of the free version. I just created my first Dock. I have given it a Dock Name. How can I get the Dock to display it's Name?

Also, when the dock is hidden, is there a way for something to indicate the dock's position, preferable with the Dock's name? I plan on having multiple docks once I make the purchase. I want to be able to easily find them and un-hide them.

Many thanks!

Docks do not use labels below the icons, if that is what you mean. You do get the label with the dock name when you mouse over the Nexus control icon.

Also, you should only have one dock per screen edge.

What you seem to want is probably better accomplished with shelves (tabbed docks) and drawers, which are available in Nexus Ultimate. In their case, a small tab with the names remains visible when the shelves/drawers are collapsed/hidden.

I see. Kinda like StarDock Tabbed Docks? I will look into that. Thanks.

Ultimate? On the web site under Products I see only Winstep Xtreme 25.2, Winstep Nexus 25.2, and Start Menu Organizer 1.5.

All tabbed docks had their origin in the OPENSTEP shelf.

Also, the shelf in Nexus Ultimate came long before Stardock's Objectdock.

But yes, like StarDock Tabbed Docks. Sigh. :lol:

As for Nexus Ultimate, more information in the following page:
